Several public and private Bills w ere brought up from the Commons, among others, the Irish Trea ° aury Bills' Bill, which was read a first time. PAWLVI'T's DIVORCE. Lord HAOwtcx.k, Moved the second reading of this His Lordship commented at 'some length on the evidence s and on the nature of the objeatons that had been started against it. He thought their Lordships might decide on the.evidence first brought forward, without any reference to the evidence sub sequently adduced. . . 'rite LORD CnANcard,oit contended, that the evi-; deuce adduced in the Ecclesiastical Court, and at the Assizes, was insufficient to establish the aa. of adUltery. The evidence taken at the Bar of that House was in some instances contradiaory, and in others suspidious: It would appear as if the bring ink forward of the last evidence could. be traced to Mrs. Pawlett, and that it betrayed some syrup toms of collusion. Mrs. Pawiett's Case was certainly a most cruel one ;and he ctntemplated it with an aching heart, but a sense of duly .must .he para mount with him to every other feeling. : He there fore. ft;lt compelled to oppose the second reakEng of Lord DARNLEY coincided in opinion with the Lord Chancellor, and atter a few wlJrds in reply fro m ' Lord Hard wicke, the question' was put, and no paved without a division. MR. CHARMILLY. , Lord &T y ro inado his promised motion, a mo tion similar to that' s already made - in the C ommons , for the dates of the promotion of .Mr. Charmilly to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, and. the amount of the emoluments which he" received from Govern.; meat.—The motion was agreed to. • • • HIS;MATESTY's MESSAGE. The Earl, of Ltvetteeot, then.moved the Order of the Day Jar taking into consideration his Majesty's Message, recommending an augmentation of Queen Ano's Bounty in favitur, of the interior Clergy. His Lordship entered into a statement of the returns that bad'aiready been made of the number Of liviflgs un der ,1.501. pernimum, and observed, that though the necessary intim - illation was nut yet before the House, upon which to builda permanent system in aid of the present distressed state of the Chute!), still ~off icient was known to induce their Lordships to adopt some measure to answer We exigencies of the moment, until time was allowed to prepare end digest a plan to be permanently need upon. His Lordship concluded with moving an Address expres sive.of the readiness of that House to concur in the accomplishment of his Majesty's wtshcs. Lord Stumourtt highly approved of the principle of the measifre,. but as he was stilt ignorant of the mode by Which it was to be carried into execution, he was not without his apprehensions thdt some thing might occur, similar to what happened last Ses sion in the caseof Mr. Palmer, to obstruct the measure at the close of the Session. He though: the objeEt of ins Majesty's Messageiwas of too high a uature to be thrown into a clause of a Money Bill, and was of opinion that it ought to haVe.' been Made the subjeal of a distind Bill: What regarded the church could not be too' studiously ,attended to; or should it be forgotten how essentially and indissplubly it was Con. netted with the well-being of the State. Lord Hattftowelr could see no, analogy between the,present subject and the case of Mr. Palmer, nor ' did he leer that any difficulties could arise, such as • those contemplated by the Noble Viscount (Ski mouth) to obstrn6t the accomplishment of the men, sure. His Lordship then proceeded to draw a paral lel between the present state of the Church, and it* condition at the time of the enactment of the Attu of 'Queen Ann ; and concluded with giving his cordial support to the Address, whieb was assented to without anropposition. Tice third 'reading. of the Loan Interest Bill was deferred until. Tuesday, on the motion of Lord DAaNLHY i and also the' third' reading of the Scots Judicature Bill, on the motion of the LOUD CHAN CELLOR. The Bills on the table were then forwarded in their respeaive stages, and the House adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS. •' TRIMS/MY, JUNE I.

A Message 'from the Lords intervened; It an nounced their Lo - dships' assent to the Martiniqua Trade Bill, and some others of a private nature. Mr. CURWEN, for the purpose of bringing forward his motion, wished to postpoise.going 'into a Com- , mittee on the present subject; under the idea that it would be attended with a prolraateddebate. • - The CHANCIILLUR of the EXCHEQUER, as' be: could not an:icipate any objection to the measure proposed, so he dA not apprehend any, extent' of debate would tirke on the subjett. • • Mr. H. MARTIN re-stated that he had no objec tion w tee principle of the Bill"; but as a Commit tee in 1797 had reported that there were sinecures in the law department to the amount of ii,oool, which ought to be abolidied, Ire was anxious for an explanation on that head. The CHAS:CR[4.OR of the Bictutuusx said, that the proposed auginentatii.o was intended to be made flow (tie consolidated fund.. His opinions, he be , lieved, were pretty well known upon the arrange ment of those sinecure places. He could not, how ever, give any pledge upon that head .until he was furnished with proper Mformation. Lord H. Pm): supported the motion for further considering the measure proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman. . After a few words from Mr. WILBERFORCE, icy support of what he called a tardy act of justice, which should have been done before the House went into a Committee on the Bill, • The CHANCELLOR of the EXPHIMUER stated the income of 'the Puisne Judges 10 lid at present only two tlionsand pounds per annum, and, except in the case of those possessing private patrimony, not ade 7 ; quate to the support of au establishment necessary to uphold the dignity of those honourable persons. He did not, by any addition which be would make, ins crease that establishment, which with such decency and moderation the Judges bad so long upheld. He observed, that they should of the two rather have an opportunity of benefiting than impairing their pri-: Vote circumstances. .For this reason he - would pro pose to mitt their present nominal income, by the addition of one thousand pound a year, making in the whole for each 30001. "per' annum.. He also would propose the same sum in addition to the Chief Baron of the ExChequer, and the 'two Chief Justices.. Since the year 1772,. no provision' had been made for augmenting the salaries of the Welch Judges, to whom he would now propose an' addition of 3001. per annum. Of the Scotch Judges he could not at present say what,Was necessary 'to be done as to4heir augmentation of salary, mile did not 'possess any information on that 'ritibied. It wotild'be more convenient to await' the Report of the commissioners now. sitting On. the; alteration in the Scotch' judicature, and ' front estitnailug thereby the increase of labour which in consequence of that alteration would:ensue, then to come to. a determi oation. With respeCt to Ireland , he possessed a lit tle information i but.he was informed by Lord Chancellor et that country,. that the Judges there stood the arue favourable grounds for uugrnertta tion as they did in England. He did not doily' the emasideration of the matter, far its atleilied.thOse countries, hum any ether consideration' than not being possessed of the necessary mlornintion, not from attaching any peculiar Vales to the judicature . this, to - the prejudice of the other • parts' of the United.
